The LCU women's team lost by a score of 82-22 in their second game of the season.

Kim Harden scored 11 points for the Red Lions while Brittany Schmidt had four, Sheena Cooper three, Jonni McCaslin two and Danielle Cerqueira two.

Eureka College placed four in double figures, with Jaquie Flanagan and Lisa Byard each scoring 19. Lauren Snopek added 13 and Kristen Garst 12.

The LCU women will next play at Grace Bible College in Wyoming, Mich., on Friday and at Kuyper College in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Saturday.

Men lose close contest

The LCU men's team outscored Eureka 40-34 in the second half but came up two points short in an 84-86 loss.

LCU had a very balanced attack, putting four players in double figures: Jon Wallace 26, Landan Callahan 19 (including 4 of 8 3-pointers), Chris Lawson 16 (4 of 6 3-pointers) and Josiah Brock 13.

The balanced scoring for the Red Lions was not enough to overcome Kameron Bell's 32, Michael Zasada's 24 and Jordan Kindred's 10.

Lincoln was outrebounded 39-25 while shooting 46.3 percent from the field.

The Red Lions will be in action again Friday and Saturday at the Concordia Tournament in St. Louis.
